Finding an instructor for an adult
with piano experience has not been an easy task. Throughout the years I tried several teachers who who were not able to motivate
or extend my skills. Then I met Marcy Gilroy. From the first lesson I felt excited by her teaching methods. Marcy used appropriated
materials and techniques to review finger exercises. Her love for music was evident when she recommended newpieces and impressed
me by playing them beautifully. I was appreciative that Marcy respected my musical influences and asked me for input when
chossing new pieces to play. She was everything I had looked for in a teacher. Marcy was extremely accomplished, supportive,
and encouraging. But, most importantly, marcy knew how to effectively extend my skills. After a few months of lessons I was
playing better than I ever have. This has give me great pleasure along with a sense of wonder by how much I had achieved in
a short period of time. I highly recommend Marcy Gilroy's teaching style and expertise to any musical adult who dreams of
playing the piano well. Adult student Eileen Klein 9 years of previous piano lessons. Degrees in Education and English. Boca

Ms.
Marcy has been, hands down, the best music instructor our daughter Amanda has had. Amanda came to Marcy just six months ago
with five years of piano lessons under her belt. Unfortunately she could read very little music, but had near perfect pitch.
Marcy promised us that in less than one year she would be able to read all her notes and be able to play any composition she
chose. In the short time our daughter has been with A Prelude to the Classics, she has far exceeded our expectations and is
on her way to becoming an accomplished piano player – all thanks to Ms. Marcy who understands her students and creates
an environment where the student loves to learn and can’t wait until their next lesson. Thank you for all you do! Shana
(mother of 13 year old student)

"Marcy,
Thank you so much for your devotion and support with teaching the kids.

You have taught my children to love playing a musical instrument
and for that I truly thank you!"Janet Kempton

"A Prelude to the Classics
is a music studio that is beyond compare. My 13 year old son has been playing with Marcy for five years and was given a full
scholarship for the summer music program at the renowned Interlochen Music Camp and was at the top of the class. Marcy
is not only talented herself, but she has a natural way with people. Marcy knows how to read people and speak to their personal
abilities. My son is very intelligent, but she can communicate with him in ways that I cannot. She knows how to "reign
people in", and always keep it fun! When you cone to one of her lessons, her students always have a smile on their faces!
Joining A Prelude to the Classics with without a doubt one of the best decisions we have ever made. We continue to watch our
son flourish while he is having a ball!"

Miss Marcy as appeared in Herald Tribune Article

"Learning to play music was on my “bucket list”, so for my 60th birthday I bought
a keyboard. I started with the Easy Play method, but found progress slow.After just 3 months of lessons
with Marcy, I can read music and play scales, along with a wide range of chords. I now have the fundamentals needed to make
real progress.Marcy likes to challenge her students to move forward, but provides ample encouragement.She makes learning fun, and is highly effective for students of all ages. " Sam Swope
